Answer:
The value of x is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Things to remember the sum of the measures of the interior and exterior angles at each vertex is 180 (supplementary angles)
add and equal to 180
3x-5+5x+17= 180
8x+12=180
8x= 168
x=21
substitute in the algebraic expression for exterior angle
3(21) -5=
63-5=58
58 degrees is the exterior angle

Hello!
In our triangle, c is the hypotenuse. We are given an adjacent side length to our angle. This means we will use the cosine. Let's find it first.
cos54≈0.59
This gives us the equation below.
0.59=9/c
0.59c=9
c≈15.25
Therefore, c is equal to about 15.25
I hope this helps!
3+5=8
8/20 =.4
.4 goes to 40% bc you move the decimal over twice
